The man who is Pure Evil, went out on the town in London for The World’s Best Ever and brought us back some great photos from The Faile Bäst Delux Fluxxx Arcade that opened at Lazarides last night.  It looks awesome!

As far as I am concerned freerun was made famous in the Jame Bond film Casino Royale. I know you may disagree but, that’s my opinion. Anyway, Barclaycard and the World Freerun Championship event is in London this weekend at Trafalgar Square, for more info and the Bond scene click after the jump.

We just discovered Free News Projects, who in turn introduced us to Pablo Bronstein.

“London-based Pablo Bronstein is a young artist floating out of time. His is an eye that can, say, synthesize the dripping, ornate grandeur of European Rococo architecture with the juvenile, weird, building-block edifices of the 1980s. In A Guide to Postmodern Architecture in London, a short book published by Walther Konig in 2008, Bronstein made it look obvious, and perfect. Bronstein’s indulgence educates selflessly, for his is an art that encourages others to look harder and draw the most from their own obsessions. In October 2006, the artist dryly guided a coach tour around London to share his discoveries.” Thanks to FNP for the tip.

“I think it’s the duty of any civilised country to provide refugees with the basics of human survival. Just because I personally only change my pants once every six weeks doesn’t mean every asylum seeker should have to do the same.”

Over the past couple days, Banksy has blessed the public with two new pieces.  This miniature b-boy (above) is picture perfect and the fact that Banksy integrated the wall into the piece makes it that much better.  Check after the jump for a detail shot, as well as the other piece Banksy put up.

With the English ‘Urban Art’ market collapsing, an interesting marketing concept has popped up across the pond.  Brahma Beer and something called Artichoke have teamed up to raffle off the chance to buy a signed Banksy print, Trolleys, for 1 penny.  This really takes the phrase ‘Art is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it’ to the max!

Red Rag To A Bull is a “public service site funded by a cartell of rich and powerfull light industrialists who wish to remain annonymous.”

Turns out those wishing to remain anonymous include Jamie Reid, James Cauty, and Billy Childish and one of their purposes is to raise the £200 for Cartrain, a 16 year old artist who Damien Hirst demanded money from for using his diamond skull in a print. Another is‘as “a creative exercise that mocked and exposed the idiocy an overbearing and thoughtless approach to copyright control that creates fear and censorship in the arts.”

The shop shuts down today, but have a look anyway.

Brad Downey‘s latest show, An Honest Thief, opened last night at Stolen Space Gallery in London.  We are especially partial to this piece (above), V Fresh.  If you’re in London, stop by and have a look, and if you haven’t done so already, buy The Adventures of Darius and Downey.  A great book

Only in Britain can you have a career as a presenter. If you do not know, this is Alexa Chung, recently dubbed best dressed in 2008 by Vogue. She is also the arm candy of a little Arctic Monkey. There’s something about her that I am now obsessed with.

There is a private viewing with the artist / Thursday 5 February, 6-9pm. The Show runs from 5 February – 14 March 2009
